Few Group 1 winners race over hurdles and the 2020 Prix Du Cadran winner PRINCESS ZOE makes her debut over timber at a late stage. She's always loved soft ground and Tony Mullins should have her at peak fitness. Pink In The Park won a bumper here and has been beaten by a couple of smart performers in her two starts over hurdles so has to be a threat. Knockanard Lady also won a bumper here and though beaten in three maiden hurdles has run well in each case and can get into contention. Jumping Jet made a winning start in a bumper so the lack of a run may not prevent a big run.
